Winter Skin Care Routine

-
Hey my gems!
I thought you might like to know my Winter skin care routine and how it differs from my normal skincare routine. The cold and the dry weather definitely affect my skin so here's my routine and my products!

Morning:
Full body moisture! I've used different moisturizers for my body but I am currently using the Nivea Deep Care and Repair and love the deep moisture it gives my skin. It also has some coconut and I love the feeling. For my face I use the Celeste Face moisturizer from Lush. I'm absolutely obsessed with it, it's not too heavy, but definitely enough that I feel the difference.

Mid day:
This depends on whether I'm home or not, if I'm at school I have a portable hand moisturizer which I apply after lunch- don't ask me why the time is so specific it just works! However if I'm home I tend to stay away from moisturizing mid day because I didn't go into the cold and don't want to constantly overwhelm my skin.

Evening:
The evening is when the most effort gets put into my skincare routine. Twice a week, I do a Cream of Mint Mask, from Lush, which is super important because it isn't too abrasive. With the dryness of the winter I try not to be too harsh on my skin. This can be used as either a mask or to exfoliate so depending on how my skin is doing I may use it either way, but I stick to twice a week. Once a week, or twice depending on my skin, I use a toner that I LOVE from Biore. I use it only once a week though because it is quite strong and when my skin is dry I definitely feel the burn.

After this, I do another round of Celeste and Nivea. I try to make sure I apply my last layer of moisturizer a few hours before I go to bed to allow my skin to absorb it. It's really important not to layer too much on your skin before bed because that's when your skin is doing most of it's growth. I also put on a decent layer of Vaseline on my lips in the evening, can't forget them!

This is my go-to routine but I also love trying new products so I definitely change it up once and a while, also depending if my skin is cooperative or not! Baths are also a really important aspect for me, I love using soothing and skin healing bath bombs, but I don't get to enjoy them as often as I'd like!

That's it for today my gems!
Stay cozy!

New Year Update!

-
 Hi Gems,  Wow it has been a while. The last time I wrote and published on here was in October which honestly feels like a lifetime. As the holidays came and went, we rang in the new year and I find myself thinking a lot about not only lessons learned this year but the direction I want to aim for when going into 2024.  As you may know if you follow my other platforms, I am getting married this year which feels surreal! It's been so far away for so long and here we are counting down less then a year! I also am so proud of Tia things on Instagram , TikTok and Youtube because I really have pushed myself to create more all while having fun! With all of this in mind, here are some of my goals going into 2024: 1. Have a life outside of wedding planning  Wedding planning has genuinely been so fun and even in the stress-inducing times, I would not change anything for the world. I am so proud of how much we have done, saved, planned, etc. as we put together our perfect day....

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We...

She's a wife!

Hi gems, after soooo much time away from the blog I am back with a life update! I have now been married for a month and had the most incredible honeymoon! We are just getting back home and resetting into a routine. The switch back to reality isn't an easy one but we are still on cloud nine from the events of the summer so that certainly helps! So with that said I think we are well overdo on a life update! Your girl is welcoming fall after a month in Europe and an incredible summer! Not only did my bestfriends get married in the most magical day, but we got to have a summer filled with so many celebrations. Summer 2024 will go down in the history books for sure as a summer of love. I also had another major life change earlier in the summer, I changed job! After five years at an agency, with the people I loved and who taught me so much. I got an opportunity at a company that is HUGE and rated a top company to work for. The job itself and benefits made it a deal I could not turn down....
